I hold a PhD in Communication from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and an MA in Religion and Modernity from Queen\u2019s University.

My SSHRC-funded research project on the discourse of Christian persecution explores the ways that conservative Christian political and legal advocacy groups in the U.S. have employed the language of victimization in order to carve out ever-greater spaces of exemption from antidiscrimination law. More recently I have been looking at the overlap between religion and conspiracy theories in both the U.S. and Canada. My work is informed by intersectional feminist theory and critical cultural studies.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I teach courses in media and religion, political communication, and media theory.
